a. RESOLUTION 00-4-12-1 Proclaiming the Week of April 10-15, 2000 as National Crime Victims' Rights Week.

Doug Harcleroad, District Attorney, announced that April 10
through April 15 is National Crime Victims Weeks and it is the 20th anniversary of this
function. He noted the theme this year is "Victims rights, Dare to Dream." He
passed out pins and ribbons for the Board to wear. He stated that "Dare to
Dream" conveys a message that victims and survivors of crime have access to the legal
system and victims have constitutional rights in the State of Oregon. He added that this
year also marks the 15th anniversary of the crime victim and survivor services program in
the District Attorneys office. He said most people are volunteers with the program
performing over 25,000 hours of volunteer service to victims every year. He requested the
Board to pass the resolution.

Sorenson read the Resolution into the record.

MOTION: to approve RESOLUTION 00-4-12-1.

Morrison MOVED, Dwyer SECONDED.

Sorenson thanked Harcleroad for his willingness to protect crime
victims in the community and he thanked all of the volunteers.

Green said he was privileged to support the resolution. He said
he suffered through a violent crime against his brothers 24 years ago. He encouraged
all the volunteers to continue their work.

Weeldreyer echoed Green and commended the District
Attorneys office for its leadership in bringing about a worthwhile program.

Morrison lauded all of the endeavors and declared a week is not
enough to recognize the volunteers.

VOTE: 5-0.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATION

a. Announcements.

Van Vactor stated he appreciated the presentation on the Oregon
Progress Board and State Benchmarks.

ORDER 00-4-12-2 Approving Submission of
Assessment and Taxation Grant Budget to the Oregon Department of Revenue.

Van Vactor reported that they have gotten the Oregon Department
of Revenue to accept Lane Countys proposal of the workload and staffing that is
assigned. He added that has not always been the case, but Jim Gangle, Tax Assessor,
accomplished the work even though the staffing was thin. He said it is successful because
of the hard work and excellent management from the Assessment and Taxation office.

Gangle thanked his staff for the hard work the past year. He
noted there are still computer problems, but things are improving and his staff is making
it better for everyone.

Regarding the grant document, Gangle said they have put in a
request to add two appraisers because the Department of Revenue wrote a letter expressing
concern about the level of assessments in industrial appraised land. He added the second
area of concern is the appeals process and the lack of representation. He said to offset
that, the legislature approved House Bill 2139, which increased the funding to Assessment
and Taxation (an additional $455,000 more that Lane County will receive.) He said they did
submit reductions to their budget this year, but to retain their real market value and
appeals, they have to add the two positions. He said they fell behind because of the
computer conversion, but are catching up. He urged the Board to approve the grant
document.

Weeldreyer noted that checks sent to Assessment and Taxation
that are to Lane County are redistributed to a variety of special districts, school
districts and cities that are part of the assessment codes. She added that Lane County
does not receive any transaction fees to cover costs and needs to maintain its partnership
with the Department of Revenue.

Dwyer thanked Gangle for a job well done.

Green concurred with Van Vactor that Gangle is the best assessor
in the state.

Gangle reported that they have three different systems for value
of property: real market value, farm and forest, and maximum assessed value under Measure
50. He noted that one of the issues is maintaining all the information. He added that
their new computer system is designed to handle the intricacies of all the values. He said
it is more complicated now than in the past. He said they have to retain real market value
and maximum assessed value under Measure 50 and the real market value is becoming more
significant.

Responding to Morrisons question, Gangle said the three
accounts she asked about were Greta Anderson, Eugene Country Club and Bi-Mart.

Sorenson suggested setting up a payee for the tax checks other
than Lane County Assessment and Taxation.

Van Vactor said it was a good suggestion and if it can be done,
it should be part of the 2001 legislative program.

Sorenson said it would be to the publics benefit to
understand Lane Countys role in collecting the money and as a recipient agency of
that money.

Green cautioned to have citizen involvement before it is
enforced.

Dwyer stated it was an excellent suggestion that would give the
County credibility.

MOTION: to approve ORDER 00-4-12-2.

Morrison MOVED, Weeldreyer SECONDED.

VOTE: 5-0.
